We’re chatting with Amanda Montell, an author, podcaster, and all-around cult specialist from Scientology to Soul Cycle, and every cult in between. Amanda and Liz dive into all things cultish - the way language influences leaders & followers, the groupthink power of social media, and how we can make meaning out of the current apocalypse. Come for the vibes, and stay for the cult.
If Hopecore really is a cult, we need you to recruit more followers. Rate, review, comment, like, submit questions, and let us know your favorite cult - we all have one.
